About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: March 2026

Award-winning wedding planning serving Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns.
After being named Hitched’s Wedding Planner of the Year for Buckinghamshire and recognised as a finalist at both The Wedding Industry Awards and Guides for Brides, Carly and her team continue to focus on what matters most: making sure your wedding day actually happens the way you planned it.
Based near Oxford, we work with couples across the region and beyond, handling everything from full-service planning to day-of coordination. No two weddings are the same, so we’ve built our packages to flex around what you actually need—not what we think sounds impressive.
Our Approach
We’re here to make the process straightforward. After an initial consultation, we’ll recommend the package that makes sense for where you are in your planning. From there, it’s regular communication, proper coordination with your suppliers, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks before (or on) the day itself.
Whether you’re after a large celebration or something more intimate, we’ll work with your vision and budget to deliver a wedding that feels like yours.

Dream coordinator

Carly at Elizabeth Victoria is exactly the kind of coordinator every supplier hopes to have on site. She brings real warmth and energy to the day, but what stands out most is how she treats it as a team effort, checking in with every supplier, making sure we've got what we need, and genuinely valuing the part each of us plays in the couple's day. She's quick to recommend other great suppliers too, which says a lot about how much she cares about getting couples the right team, not just filling a checklist. On the day itself, everything just runs smoothly because she's thought two steps ahead and kept everyone talking to each other. Couples working with her are in brilliant hands, and we'd happily work with her again any time.

Carly is the best of the best!

It’s hard to put into words just how much we appreciated having Carly as our wedding coordinator. Coming from a family with a background in events, I’m sure we weren’t the easiest clients! But from our very first call, I knew I could trust her to take care of everything on the day, and she exceeded every expectation.

Our wedding day ran seamlessly, with every detail thoughtfully planned and taken care of. As someone who likes to be in control, I never imagined I’d be able to completely switch off and just enjoy the day, but I did, because I had complete confidence in Carly. She delivered beyond what we could have hoped for.

I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carly to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding coordinator. She played such a huge part in making our day so special, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Wonderful Carly ✨

We can’t thank Carly enough for all her efforts with organising our wedding. I had planned most of it, it was just putting it altogether and making it run smooth that we needed help with and Carly absolutely smashed it.
From our first meeting, she was so lovely and organised and had great suggestions to make the day just right. She was there for us when things went wrong, always finding an easy solution. She had beyond great communication with us and the suppliers, making sure we were happy and everything was going smooth.

The day ran so smooth and everyone had the best time. We are so so grateful for Carly and everything she did for us. Would absolutely highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding or needing help organising the day 💜

An absolute wedding day Hero!

We honestly cannot recommend Carly enough. From the very beginning, she was such a huge support, helping us with vendor suggestions, arranging meetings and making sure all the timings and details were carefully planned in the lead-up to the day.

On the morning of the wedding, she was an absolute asset. Nothing was too much trouble, and she was there to help with anything we needed, often before we had even thought to ask. She made everything feel calm, organised and seamless, which meant we could fully enjoy the day without worrying about the little details.

She played such a big part in making the whole experience feel special and stress-free, and we are so grateful for everything she did to help make our wedding day so amazing!

Carly is the absolute best and made sure our wedding was perfect!

My husband and I are so incredibly happy we worked with Carly for our wedding! She made the entire experience, from start to finish, so easy and enjoyable, ensuring we felt calm and taken care of every step of the way.

In the lead-up to the wedding, she was extremely responsive, accommodated our schedule for calls given that we live overseas, and was always such a joy to talk to. She even went above and beyond by making sure my wedding dress was pressed and doing a pre-wedding run-through with our bridal party.

On the day of our wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was always one step ahead, making sure we stayed on schedule and that everything ran smoothly. She was such a wonderful presence throughout the day, and we truly hope to be able to call her our friend.

Thank you again, Carly! ❤️

A fantastic choice

We chose to do a home marquee wedding to allow us to customise and perfect our day. In the build up, we quickly realised there wasn’t a way to enjoy the day fully whilst making sure all the cogs were turning correctly. After a great recommendation we connected with Carly and were instantly comforted by her level of organisation and experience. Carly asked us questions we’d not even thought about, jumped on calls with us and suppliers and got us into a space where we felt totally prepared for the day.
Then, when the day arrived neither of us felt like we needed to do anything, once we’d explained our preferences and the schedule, Carly followed it all through, juggling the suppliers and with her team kept the whole day running perfectly.

I’d highly recommend booking her for your wedding.

Fantastic wedding co-ordinator!

Carly is an absolute rockstar and we’d highly recommend her to anyone. We had a garden marquee wedding and realised we were going to need some help. With Carly on board we felt so supported and the whole process felt smooth (and fun!). She brings an incredible amount of experience and ensured that everything was in place for the big day. We fully trusted Carly and her assistant Mia with all the details and they did not disappoint! They got stuck into all sorts of last minute tasks and made sure that me and my husband could just relax and enjoy the day. We are so grateful for all your efforts, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Amazing support on start to finish!

Carly is an amazing wedding planner and such a lovely person to work with. She is incredibly organised, supportive and calm, and always makes sure everything runs smoothly.

You can really see how much she cares about her
couples and every little detail of the day. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she creates such a positive atmosphere for everyone involved.

She is professional, approachable and genuinely passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond!

Absolute Superstar

I couldn’t recommend Carly and her team more. My wife and I really underestimated how much planning a wedding takes and go have Carly along for the ride was a god send. After each of our calls and mainly the coordination on our wedding day, I just knew everything would run seamlessly

If you are hesitant about a wedding coordinator, then be assured it’s well worth every penny.

Wedding planning

Carly is an absolute star! Such a lovely person — calm, kind, and totally unflappable. She handled everything so smoothly and without any fuss, making the whole day feel effortless. It honestly felt like having a member of the family there, looking out for us. The day ran perfectly thanks to her capable hands. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough! 💕

Stress-Free and Beautiful Wedding Thanks to Carly

Carly was an absolute joy to work with throughout the whole process. She was incredibly responsive, warm-hearted, cheerful, and friendly, and she helped ease so much of our stress - even though we had chosen to mostly DIY our wedding planning. On the wedding day, Carly brought our venue design to life and added her own creative touches to make it feel truly lovely and welcoming. Her coordination was flawless, allowing us to enjoy a completely worry-free wedding day. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Fantastic Wedding Co-Ordinator

I worked with Carly on a wedding this past weekend and honestly couldnt have done it without her.

Couple's wont see all the hard work Carly does behind the scenes on a wedding day to keep the day running smoothly, and that’s the point! Carly works hard to ensure things are running on time, makes quick, calm adjustments when things run over or go awry and collaborates with other suppliers to make sure everyone can do the best job for the couple possible.

I can't recommend her enough and look forward to working with her in the future!

The best weekend of our lives, made EVEN better by Carly

We recently got married at my husband's Parent's house in Oxfordshire and enlisted the help of Carly and her team. From the beginning Carly went over and above to help us, anticipating our needs before we even realised we needed to consider things. She was responsive, gave up a LOT of her time and ran through countless status calls with me to reassure me and support with planning. On the day Carly was brilliant at coordinating and show calling, and helped the day to run like clockwork. Carly's help allowed us to truly relax on our special day and we cannot thank her enough. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!!

OMG, What an AMAZING wedding PLanner - A real gem!

Carly was insanely good on the wedding day. As a photographer, I work with so many wedding planners all over the world, and Carly is one of the very best!!! So easy and pleasant to work with on the day, but super organised and responsive in the lead up to the wedding day. You just know that everything is in hand and taken care of even before you have to ask!!

Thanks so much for an amazing day - I honestly can't wait to work with you again! xxx

Fantastic!

We were planning a wedding for about 100 people in our garden. We had the key suppliers booked but needed help to tie everything together and work out the flow of the day, we wanted to be able to enjoy the wedding day ourselves and not be worried about the logistics. From the initial conversation Carly made us feel relaxed and in control. She is very organised and helped us to plan out the finer details of the day. She understood our vision and helped to bring it to life. Carly visited the garden the day before to run through how the day would work which was very helpful!
On the day Carly was very busy in the background making sure everything was running smoothly. Having a wedding planner is especially important if you’re having a DIY wedding in your garden, we could not recommend Carly enough, she was such a great person to have in the run up and on the day.
The day was just perfect, we wish we could do it all over again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

At Elizabeth Victoria Weddings, I understand that every couple’s vision for their wedding day is unique and deeply personal. Whether you envision a grand, luxurious affair or a more intimate gathering, I am here to transform your dreams into reality, creating the perfect celebration tailored just for you.

A Bit About Me

I have a passion for weekend city getaways, I absolutely adore fresh flowers and take great pleasure when it comes to alfresco dining. My heart belongs to 80’s and 90’s music, a good Malbec and I will never say no to a strong coffee. I tell people that New York is my favourite city, however my true love lies with the West Coast and I cant resist the allure of a new handbag, especially when I am in Macy’s.

I thrive on blue skies, but give me a burnt orange stunning sunset any day. I am extremely nostalgic when it comes to photo’s, I collect magnets from every destination that I explore and I could just binge-watch episodes of Friends endlessly.

As a hopeless romantic, I wholeheartedly believe in true love, it warms my heart to even get teary-eyed during each clients wedding speech.

Some might say I’m a softy, while others see me as wild at heart, I would say I am a bit of both.
